Mate, take a break. Seriously.
The mental gymnastic you and the other CR7 fanatics in this thread are doing to defend what's simply put is indefensible, is a sight to behold. I swear, it's like none of you has ever set a foot in a dressing room. Cristiano is one of the best footballers to ever grace a pitch, no single doubt that. However personalities like his are extremely abrasive. People begrundgingly let their tantrums slide as long as said player has the performances (
emphasis on performance) to back them up but as soon as they're not there anymore, the dressing room goes to shit. No one, no matter their level, is going to put up very long with someone who's hell bent on reminding them, on and off the pitch, of every single mistake they make whilst the bloke himself is hardly setting the world alight. It drags the whole team's morale down and affects their performances.
There's plenty to respect and learn from him for the young'uns and the others, but seeing him as a leader or some kind of beacon of light in an ocean full of shit, is mistake I wouldn't make. C. Ronaldo does everything that's best for... C. Ronaldo. Full stop. Everything is about him, anything else comes after. People are saying he always did that, which is true. However, he's soon 37 years old and that kind of behavior isn't something I'd expect from someone of his age, especially with everything he's already achieved. I fully understand his ambitions and highly admire his unique drive, that's what lifted him up to the place he occupies in the football Pantheon in the first place. Still football is a team sport and he's not the player he was anymore. So when the manager (rightly) subs you off for tactical reasons, you swallow your pride and sit on the bench. If you have something to say to the manager and it's your right, you wait until the game's over and privately tell your piece. If you truly have the team's interests in mind, that is.
